Forte School of Music

Forte School of Music started in 1993 in Australia when two music educators saw the need for music lessons that were fun as well as educationally sound. The first UK school opened in June 2000 in Cardiff and since opening the demand for lessons has soared with hundreds of music-mad youngsters now regularly attending lessons.

The Forte method puts the emphasis firmly on fun and is designed to build confidence at the same time as teaching new skills.

Learning music at Forte means you will be learning in a dynamic, nurturing, musical environment, filled with enthusiastic people who love music and sharing it with others.

At Forte, you will learn how to understand the language of music. Your musical senses: hearing (aural), feeling for beat & time (rhythm), music reading and writing (theory), will develop along with the knowledge of how all of these combine together to make music. Through your musical development at Forte, you will discover how to express your inner feelings and creativity through music and how to write your own compositions.

Forte offers both class and one-to-one lessons. Learning with others in a family or group is the most natural way for young children to learn. There are many delights and benefits from learning with others in a group at all ages and stages but if a private lesson is preferred, then it is best to wait until your child is at least 7 years of age.
